Now that it is fixed, this file isn't filling with anything. It just sorta sits there. I did empty it at one point and it has stayed that way for a bit now. Maybe recompiling some packages and getting everything up to date given other issue with opencascade and such fixed whatever it was that caused it. If it starts filling itself with useless stuff again, back to the solution you gave. Thanks for the help. :-D Dale :-) :-)

My apologies, your files are correct as you've shown, mine are from a previous sddm version 0.18.1-r8. I had to mask the latest version 0.20.0-r1, because it won't launch fully on this PC to allow me to login. This is what you can do easily and without having to add your own new 02_dale_sddm.conf file just to specify the log file path for sddm: mv ~/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log ./ ln -s /dev/null ~/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log then login into Plasma and the problem of an ever growing log file will be gone.

Unless you create your own sddm config file in /etc, the sddm package uses a
default config file. From the man page:
FILES
/usr/share/sddm/sddm.conf.d
System configuration directory
/etc/sddm.conf.d
Local configuration directory
/etc/sddm.conf
Local configuration file for compatibility
/usr/share/sddm/themes
Where sddm looks for themes
Search in the above paths and you should find the default sddm config file,
which you can copy over to /etc and tweak it to stop it recording events in
your user xsession log file.

I would think it uses ffmpeg to decompress, parse, decode and play a file when
previewed in dolphin.

I understand these video players use ffmpeg libraries too.

Yes:

Dolpin would not need a video player's functionality just to preview a
thumbnail of a video file.

Replying here since the original post has the correct info. Took me a
bit to try some of things in other reply. I had to help install two TVs
and tried to do some hunting today for a friend. Most of the files you
mentioned aren't on this system and some paths don't exist either.
Maybe different USE flags or something?? I dunno. Since this is
actually dolphin, what does dolphin use to generate those thumbnails?
Maybe I need to beat some sense into that thing. Another thing that hit
me, I have three video packages installed, these three.
root@fireball / # equery list mpv ffmpeg mplayer
* Searching for mpv ...
[IP-] [ ] media-video/mpv-0.36.0-r1:0/2

root@fireball / #
I'm wondering, if I remove ffmpeg, could my video players use mpv or
mplayer? Does dolphin use ffmpeg or mplayer to generate the
thumbnails? I need to keep mpv because I use that to play videos
directly. I think smplayer needs mplayer, maybe. Another thought,
you see any USE flags that need to be changed? Maybe I missed a new one
that I need to enable or something.
